Marvin,
A very subjective question. If you own old Nikon lenses then a Nikon DSLR
will allow you to use them. Canon changed the mount. The quality of the two
are very similar. The major difference is the price. Canon has a edge in
price with a 12MP Canon Rebel runs about $570 while a 10MP Nikon D80 runs
$750. Lenses are comparable. Both make mediocre consumer grade lenses and
very good higher end lenses.
Stay away from the Nikon D40, it is old generation electronics which is why
it sells for much less. If I could suggest Buy the Canon Digital Rebel and
the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 lens. The lens is absolutely superb. Equal to or
better than the Canon 17-55 at half the price.
I have used both Nikon and Canon. Had the Nikon D300 for a while but I do
not care for the Nikon interface, although with this new D300 they improved
it a great deal but at a price ($1800). The Canon interface for me is much
simpler to use and lighter. Yes, it is plastic but so is every other camera.
I do not hammer nails in the wall with my cameras anymore, gave it up a few
years ago when I sold my Rapid Omega. But to each his own.
